As conversations around AI continue to shape our present and future, I sat down with Aaron Berkey—co-founder and managing partner of Okeanos, a venture capital firm with a community-first approach to investing, to explore the intersection of family, business, and purpose in a rapidly evolving world.

On this episode of the pod, Aaron shares the power of positive reinforcement in parenting, the need to support female-founded businesses, and how AI and automation are reshaping healthcare and the labor market. We dive into how consistent discipline and strong community ties play a critical role in building a meaningful life and career. We reflect on the rising value of authentic human connection and creativity in an increasingly tech-driven age—and why staying grounded in relationships may be our most valuable asset.

Aaron is also the co-host of The Entrepreneur's Dream: The Pursuit of Happiness, a new podcast exploring the emotional and professional journeys of entrepreneurs at every stage of business.
